“One-third of humanity remains offline. Many more only have basic connectivity, which is often slow, intermittent, and unaffordable.

Starlink is committed to closing the digital divide and quickly expanding access to high-speed internet all around the world, especially for those in rural and remote areas.

After just five years of commercial service, Starlink is connecting more than 9 million customers on land, in the air, and at sea across all seven continents.

In 2025 alone, we connected more than 4.6 million new active customers with high-speed internet and expanded service to 35 additional countries, territories and other markets around the world.

And with the completion of our first-generation Direct to Cell network, Starlink took its promise of reliable connectivity a step further, offering voice, video, and messaging services via data direct to unmodified cell phones.”
